Jaycee Worked for Captor Too, E-Mails Show

Jaycee Lee Dugard was not only the alleged kidnap and rape victim of Phillip Garrido, she was also helped him run a discount printing company out of his California home.

E-mails obtained by CNN show Dugard, who turned up last week after being taken from in front of her South Lake Tahoe home 18 years ago at age 11, corresponding with customers about orders for brochures and other products.

Garrido, 58 years old and a registered sex offender, faces 29 felony charges, including rape and kidnapping, along with his 55-year-old wife Nancy Garrido. Both have pleaded not guilty.

The Garrisons kept Dugard, and the two daughters she allegedly had with Garrido, in a in the couple's backyard, according to authorities.

But the e-mails, in which Dugard identified herself as "Allissa," show the one-time captive was also an employee of Garrido's "Printing for Less."

"i will take a look at the price sheet and send you over a copy of the revised brochure tomorrow," Dugard e-mailed a customer on May 7, 2007 from an Yahoo account registered to Garrido. "as to the pictures sorry ... but we don't have a digital camera ... hopefully you can find a way to get me those pictures you want so i can add them to them brochure. i can get the brochures to you pretty fast within the week of final approval of the brochures. How many are you going to order and do you want them on glossy or matte paper, thick or thin?"

Ben Daughdrill, the customer to whom she wrote, told CNN that "nothing stood out" on the two occasions he met Dugard in person.

On Saturday, police - and the house next door - for evidence in other open cases, including the unsolved murders of prostitutes.
